Denna uppsats är en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Norge där syftet har varit att utröna hur de båda länderna har valt att reglera frågan kring ”samhällsfarliga konflikter”. Då stridsåtgärder vidtas av parterna på arbetsmarknaden under en tvist kan väsentliga samhällsintressen lida skada. Arbetskonflikterna kan komma att utgöra en fara för liv och hälsa eller orsaka betydande ekonomiska förl

Inter-firm contractual arrangements characteristically form the back-bone of a business relationship, and are facilitated by a mix of informal and formal governance structures. In the lead-up to and post WTO accession, the Chinese government implemented wide-ranging reforms to its business environment. As a result, the use of inter-firm contracts as a business norm has been influenced by legislati

Målsättningen med uppsatsen är att genom en litteraturstudie ge en bild av hur kvinnor segregeras på arbetsmarknaden i Afrika söder om Sahara. Befolkningsförflyttningar, migration, krig, katastrofer, sjukdomar, förlust av arbetskraft, nerbrytningar av sociala institutioner, förändrade inhemska sociala och ekonomiska mönster, och minskade möjligheter till utveckling har drabbat kvinnorna i Afrika s

Den första juli 1997 firades Hongkongs återförening med Kina med pompa och ståt. Den brittiska kolonin blev Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) inom Kina. Hongkong skulle behålla sitt politiska system sida vid sida med fastlandets under principen "ett land, två system". Vi har identifierat att principen innebär en konflikt i den specifika situationen och använder oss av Browns

Afrika har sedan 90-talet blivit en synonym för kaos. Omvärldens bild av den afrikanska kontinenten präglas av inbördeskrig, svält, etnisk rensning och anarki. Elfenbenskusten var en kontrast till detta fram tills 1999 då ett inbördeskrig bröt ut som delade landet. Uppsatsen gör en ansats till att karakterisera konflikten enligt Mary Kaldors teori om nya krig för att sedan studera det internat

Trä var en väldigt viktig råvara under medeltiden, och användes till alla möjliga olika ändamål. Tillgången var dock inte obegränsad, och som ovanstående paragrafer visar, var man tvungen att reglera skogen och tillgången till virke i lag. Min egen nyfikenhet för ämnet kommer sig av ett begynnande trähantverksintresse. Jag har läst mycket engelsk litteratur om träslöjd och snickeri, och som medel

This paper develops a theory for understanding negotiation situations involving states and indigenous peoples. Using relevant constructivist theory as a starting point, the paper develops a theory about understanding the relationship between power and culture implicit in the concept of the state. This relationship is examined in negotiations situations involving states and indigenous peoples. Stat

This report concerns the unequal sex distribution among pilots. The purpose was to find an explanation to why this is, and come up with suggestions for a change. It has been done by studying literature on female pilots and women in non-traditional occupations, and by applying gender theories to their findings and conclusions. To be able to examine the role of the pilot the report starts by introdu

Fluxes of sensible heat and latent heat were calculated above fields of barley and wheat in Ilstorp, using a gradient profile approach. Gradient Richardson’s number was used as the stability parameter, and it was shown that atmospheric stability varies both with time of the day and wind speed. Temperature and wind profiles were studied, and it was possible to detect a rise in the active surface in

This thesis examines the democracy theories that can be found in the internet websites of Region Skåne and Stockholm county council. Within the framework of deliberative democracy, participatory democracy and electoral democracy, the author tries to distinguish democratic aspects by empirically studying these websites and their communicative effect on the internet users. This research shows that

Capella and Jamiesons research of how the media describes politics has shown that it is very often case of one of two scenarios: game frames; or issue frames. The central idea of this framing theory is that when politicians are described within game frames the disdain towards politicians is believed to increase. Capella and Jamieson have shown that, at least in the US, the use of game framing has

International immigration has become one of the greatest concerns in world politics in the last few decades. Due to discrepancy of wealth among different regions of the world, some states have become destinations for immigrants whilst others have become targets of brain drain. The aim of this thesis is to examine how immigration is framed in today's European immigration policy. More specifical

This is a thesis about the American empire. I also focus my work to see if this American empire is declining. The two main questions I ask and want to answer in this thesis are: is America an empire and is it in decline? I first conclude that America has been an empire ever since the end of the Second World War. The sheer military and economic power of the American empire matches and exceeds the

Environmental problems are said to be research dependent, as science is needed to identify phenomena such as climate change. New technological cures are however often characterised by both research dependence and scientific uncertainty. One example is Biofuels. A few years back they were seen as a sustainable solution to the transport sector's carbon dioxide emissions and oil dependence. Since

The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of the diagnoses ADHD and DAMP within different professional categories in the educational system, how it is being addressed and how this affect their work with children diagnosed with ADHD or DAMP. We also wanted to shed some light on the debate between Kärfve and Gillberg, about whether the diagnoses of ADHD and DAMP are social const

The worsening of psychical health issues among young people has widely been discussed over the last few years. Research shows for example that 9% of girls at the age of 16-24 reported anxiety problems in 1989 while 16 years later, in 2005, the same number was 30%. The purpose of this essay was to study and analyze psychiatrists', psychologists' and counselors' view on the resilience an
